He started in the Tex chain and has bounced around in the minors. He was the Pacific coast pitcher of the year last year a very tough league to pitch in. This maybe his last shot at a regular rotation spot in the majors. Meanwhile Milone gets the start for Oak. He was part of the deal that sent Gonzalez to Wash. An unproven lefty more suited to a bullpen role than starter. However with the lack of options for Oak Milone is forced into a starting role.
